Message: [QUOTE="RuffRuff, post: 5161984, member: 1268"] Samson did have some makes in this one, but also missed a dunk, missed a layup and threw something that looked like a viral convulsion off the backboard. Also had a weird forced double pass attempt into AK on a cut that was stolen. Couple that with an inability to rebound or control the paint, and he’s a hard play while Liam is out. Our starting C is averaging less rebounds a game than our 6’1” PG, think about that. It’s hard to understand how Hurley doesn’t see that Tarris is a more foundational 5. He could play the Adama role if feeding the ball into him later in a shot clock as uses both hands, has touch 5-6 feet out. We don’t use him enough, likely our second most pure talent kid on the floor at any point. Ross did nothing at all in 12 minutes, 0s in the box score including an airball and 2 fouls. He’s empty calories out there. Shooting 30% from field against non tomatoes, 2-15 from three against those teams. He’s done consistently little against good teams and plays anxious, in a way that makes him not feel ready for this level. He must be an amazing practice player because he’s shown nothing Maui on other than UM Hellen Keller. Stew has flashes against teams like Gonzaga and Memphis that makes you chomp for more, then goes into doldrums. He’s a hard one to figure out. Aidan looked more comfortable today - like he’s finally figuring out game speed and calibrating to it. Everything with him had looked a tick slow and deliberate. Hopefully that continues, we are going to need it. [/QUOTE]
